Acer Desktop crashing

I have an acer desktop computer and it freezes up all the time. With no exaggeration, I bet that the computer freezes 30 times a day. A blue screen pops up and says something about a fatal error. I took it to a computer store and they had it for 2 days and had no problems with it. HELP!!!
The same blue screen is popping up and shutting the computer down!!

I'm assuming you are talking about Windows XP here.
Did you try a "Last Known Good Configuration" from the boot menu (tapping F8 on startup)?

You could also try a chkdsk /R from recovery console.

Insert the XP setup disk and boot from it
select the first repair option you see (press R)
the recovery console will ask to select an installation number (1. usually) and ENTER
type in the administrator password ->ENTER
type 'chkdsk /R'
Let this long scan complete. You will be told if any errors were found and fixed at the end.
type 'exit' to reboot

you may also try a registry cleaner and a system restore before this started happening. Is there anything that you may have loaded that caused this to start happening? Please update me on this and we can go from there

Try scanning your pc if there's any virus, malware,worm or trojan on it because some of those can cause that problem but if you wanna make sure that this computer is clean you may reformat your computer but first back up all your important files.....

If you have nothing important on the desktop, you can wipe it clean and reinstall windows. Sometimes a missing system files also causes intermittent crashes on the system.
The following link would help you understand the problem at hand , though its from dell support site . The troubleshooting for bluescreen or system crashes is the same http://tinyurl.com/5ja2cs

Your best bet is to reinstall the operating system. I couldn't count the number of times that the Recovery Discs created by users fail, it's very common. The only recovery that works a high percentage of the time is when the manufacturer puts a recovery partition on your hard drive.

You can try your Recovery Disc again, but if it produces the same results, just reinstall your operating system fresh. It shouldn't matter because either way you will lose your data.

It is possible that your computer is overheating and is shutting down to prevent it from doing any harm to itself.
Make sure that all fans are clean, there must be no dust present as it hinders airflow!!!
Install as many fans as possible. Computer temps should be in the region of 30-40 degrees centigrade. To avoid CPU throttling, where the CPU slows down to prevent frying itself.
Please take the time to rate my expertise.

might be a memory problem.run this software http://www.memtest86.com/download.htmlyour best bet is to make a bootable cd and run at start.If its not memory then it could be virus.download malwarebytes from this site -http://www.malwarebytes.org/do quick scan

if you could try to exchange acer 1 (take back to store or send back), because the 30 sec hole u have is not enough time to get nor do anything. shopnbc,hsn, bestbuy, newegg and j&r all will exchange within their store policy limit if u had passed this limit try to connect it to a desktop so u can run a virus scan (this is what tech is going to do also if u take it for repairs) ur best bet try exchange . sorry

It comes as part of the package when you bought it.It's already on the hard drive. Acer recommend you make a recovery disk before you start using the machine.
